I really enjoy baking but I usually make sweet goodies like cakes, pies and cookies. I haven't had great luck with bread in the past but this recipe seemed so simple and delicious that I just had to give it a go. I'm so glad I did. We're having bread for lunch and dinner tonight!

This recipe was so easy and only required 5 ingredients (and one is water so that hardly even counts!).

Here is the timeline of my bread baking adventure;

10:30 AM - So inspired by Pinterest post that I actually got off the couch and went to the store for yeast
11:00 AM - Mixed all of the ingredients in the biggest bowl I had in the house
11:07 AM - Filled greased loaf pans with sticky gooey dough and set aside to rise
11:42 AM - Confirmed dough had risen enough and loaded pans into oven
12:15 PM - Checked oven obsessively
12:17 PM - Checked oven obsessively
12:18 PM - Checked oven obsessively
12:20 PM - Temporarily removed loaves, smothered with butter and put back in the oven
12:28 PM - Pulled out loaves and cooled where the great danes couldn't reach them (top of the fridge)
12:39 PM - Overheard husband saying, "holy sh*t, this is the best bread ever"

So, from the couch to a very happy hubby in just over 2 hours. Not bad!
